He was a very courageous man in a regiment of courageous men. The incarceration of Japanese Americans was absolutely a shame and a crime. People like Daniel Inouye and Gordon Hirabayashi are examples of how people in a democracy should behave, but also the situations that a democracy should never force people into.
Treatment on the mainland vs Hawaii was shockingly different. The government knew the war effort on Hawaii would have shut down without those of Japanese descent.
Need him Now !
Wow. Powerful tale. Such a treat to see and hear « Senator Dan » again. I wonder if he saw my father among the children of Jerome....

His wife, Margaret "Maggie," was my high school teacher in my senior year at University High School in Honolulu. I grad 1960.
A great American. Did not follow his politics. Most decorated groups of U.S. military.
At true giant of the Senate and an even better American. Don't make many like Dan anymore.
